Focus: Australia Daily Market Insight
Market Close: Thu, 04 December 2025
Australian equities displayed mixed performance today, with the ASX 300 edging higher amid strength in financials and energy, while materials and real estate lagged due to commodity price fluctuations and rate sensitivity. Globally, US indices closed flat ahead of key employment data, influencing cautious rotation into defensive sectors; this dynamic is reflected in our momentum indicators showing advancing short-term Qscores for names like Woolworths Group (WOW:XASX) and Sandfire Resources (SFR:XASX), signaling potential upside in consumer staples and metals.
